Surgery for Inflammatory Bowel
Disease
Timing is everything !
Stack the deck in your favor !
Perioperative Complications with
Crohn’s Disease
•Wound Infections - 2- 37%•Anastomotic Leak - 1-17%•Death - 0 - 7%•Risk Factors
– Intestinal Obstruction– Preexisting sepsis– Impaired nutritional state– ? Immunosuppression– Multiple anatomoses
Surgery for Inflammatory Bowel
DiseaseGet your patient in best possible
condition for surgery•Nutrition – consider intervention
•Albumin <3.0; 5% wgt loss @ 3 mos
• Sepsis – Drain abscess
• Bowel Prep/decompression
• No need to wean steroids/immunes
• Prepare for ostomy
Facts About Surgery
Who Undergoes Surgery?•Patients with symptoms not relieved by
medication•Patients with serious complications, eg,
abscesses, fistulas, intestinal blockage, or uncontrolled bleeding
What Does It Do?•Relieves symptoms •Does not prevent relapse
How Is It Performed?•Usually only a small section of the intestine is
removed, but entire colon may be removed in some cases

FISTULAE AND SINUS TRACTS
Surgery for Crohn’s DiseaseFistulas
• Enteroenteric (EE)- nuisance fistulas do not necessarily require surgery
• EEs (duodenocolonic, gastrocolonic, ileosigmoid, jejunocolonic)that cause metabolic, nutritional, output Cxs should be repaired
• Fistulas (ileum or colon) between urinary tract commonly require repair
• Fistulas (ileum or colon) between vagina commonly require repair
SURGICAL OPTIONS FOR INTRA-ABDOMINAL
DISEASE IN CROHN’S DISEASE
Operative Management
Margins of Resection
•Wide margins are unnecessary•Frozen sections unnecessary•Do resect gross disease•Any suitable anastomosis - OK
Laparoscopic Surgery in IBD
• 4 – 6 ports• 5 – 10 cm periumbilcal incision• Cosmetics• Pain• Length of Stay• Recuperation• Anticipate potential future
stoma in incision placement
Laparoscopic Surgery
Crohn’s Disease Indications should not differ between open (conventional) and laparoscopic surgery
Contraindications:• Diffuse peritonitis• Acute obstruction with distension accompanied by dilated loops of intestine• History of multiple previous laparotomies, known dense intra-abdominal adhesions• Coagulopathy not correctable • Portal HTN with intra-abdominal varices
Laparoscopic Surgery
Crohn’s Disease – Bottom Line
• Improved postoperative pulmonary function• Slight reduction in duration of postoperative ileus• Decreased hospital stay (5 v 6 d)• A slight decrease of the cost of direct hospital costs for laparoscopic surgery• A moderate decrease of surgical morbidity (minor)
Hand-assisted Laparoscopic Surgery
(HALS)
STRICTUROPLASTY (HEINEKE-MIKULICZ)
STRICTUROPLASTY (FINNEY)
Non-conventional Stricturoplasty in Crohn’s
Disease
Stricturoplasty
O.K. to do when...
•Diffuse involvement with multiple strictures
•Stricture(s) after previous major resection(s)
•Fibrotic stricture
•Perforated•Phlegmon / fistula•Bleeding•Multiple Strx in short
segement•Strx close to resection site•Colonic Stx (Ileo-colonic OK)•Poor nutrition
Stricturoplasty
Don’t do when...
•Segmental Colectomy•Colectomy - colostomy•Subtotal colectomy -
ileostomy• Ileo-rectal anastomosis
(IRA)
Crohn’s Colitis
High Risk of Recurrence

Surgery for Crohn’s Disease
RV Fistulas• Rectovaginal Fistulas – commonly are nuisance
• Upwards of 50% heal with medical management (infliximab)
• Surgical repair - ~70% successful
• Depends on quality of vaginal and rectal disease
• Steroids -> negative effect
Surgery for Crohn’s Disease
RV Fistulas - Surgery
• Transrectal flap – limited by rectal disease/stenosis
• Transvaginal flap
• Transrectal and –vaginal approach
• +/- Diversion – ileostomy vs colostomy

Hydradenitis Suppurativa: chronic, recurrent inflammatory process involving the apocrine glands of the axilla, groin, perineal, and perianal regions
SURGICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PERINEAL
CROHN’S DISEASE
The Surgisis AFP plug is made from a complex collagen (protein) scaffold obtained from pigs—which have a collagen structure almost identical to that of human tissue.
Closure of Crohn's anorectal fistula tracts using Surgisis® anal fistula plug is safe and successful in 80 percent of patients and 83 percent of fistula tracts. Closure rates were higher with single tracts than complex fistulas with multiple primary openings.

IPAA Cases @ UNC (808)
IPAA Stages
Single Stage
• Healthy• No chronic steroids• No chronic immunosupressants• Technically sound• 5% of cases
IPAA Stages
Two Stages(IPAA-ileostomy; ileostomy
takedown)
• Elective operation• Chronic steriods• Chronic immunosuppressants• Technical considerations• 60% of cases
IPAA Stages
Two Stages(Colectomy-ileostomy;
Completion proctectomy IPAA)
• Usually an urgent 1st operation• High dose steroids• Safest 1st operation• IPAA w/o ileostomy if technically sound• 20% of cases
IPAA Stages
Three Stages(Colectomy-ileostomy; Completion
proctectomy IPAA-ileostomy; Ileostomy TD)
• Usually an urgent 1st operation• High dose steroids• Safest 1st operation• Technical considerations -> ileostomy• 20% of cases
Laparoscopic Restorative Proctocolectomy
Cochrane Review 2009
• Eleven trials - 607 patients
• No significant differences in mortality or complications
• Operative time was significantly longer in the laparoscopic group
• No significant differences regarding postoperative recovery parameters.
• Higher cosmesis scores in the laparoscopic group. (smaller incisions)
Laparoscopic Restorative Proctocolectomy
Cochrane Review 2009
Authors' conclusions
• The laparoscopic IPAA is a feasible and safe procedure.
• Short-term advantages of the laparoscopic approach seem to be limited and their clinical significance is arguable.
IPAA Complications
Early (30-40%)
• SBO – 10-30% (4x with ileostomy)• Sepsis/Abscess – 3-15%• Thrombotic – DVT, PE, SMV or Portal• Bleeding – GI vs intra-abdominal• Pouch ischemia• Pouch leak
IPAA Complications
Late • SBO – 10-30% (4x with ileostomy)• Pouch Stricture – 8-14%• Pouchitis – 50%• Pouch fistula – 3-10%• Pouch Loss – 1-4% • Hernia
IPAA “Novel” COMPLICATIONS
• Thrombotic complications in IBD - 1% to 6% and as high as 39% in a postmortem study.
• The cause of hypercoagulability in IBD is unclear– Related to activity of disease and
coagulation abnormalities: increased plasminogen activator inhibitor, factors V and VIII, and fibrinogen and decreased factor V Leiden, antithrombin III, proteins C and S
– 60% of pts with active IBD had a hypercoagulable state vs 15% with inactive disease
IPAA “Novel” COMPLICATIONS
• SMV – PV Thrombosis• 45% of pts who had post op IPAA CTs• “The incidence of postoperative SMV-
PV thrombosis is likely more frequent than previously reported. “
IPAA “Novel” COMPLICATIONS
“Pouch Stasis”
POUCHITIS
